how sad..
A tragedy laid at the feet of the altar of the myth of the 2 income “need.”
Every year we have to read about these needless deaths.What is wrong with these idiot parents?
How can you forget your own child?
left overnight? How did this happen? God Bless her. Prayers.
They have been updating it on local radio,seemingly one parent thought the other parent had it,they also have 2 yr old which has been removed from the home...
I am trying not to judge the parents but i cannot understand not seeing your child for 14 hrs and not thinking anything of it..
Mom and dad need to be looking at a murder rap.

As I said, it is the myth of the 2 income necessity. By the time you tote up all the expenses the second income costs, it puts you in the negative — less income than if only one parent works.
Kids need to be brought up by their own parents (and babies by their Moms, specifically). Warehousing them and the expecting to be part time parents leads to tragedies like this.
What are you thinking? If parents decided to stay home en masse, who would do all the work that they are doing now? It isn't like we have millions of people sitting around doing nothing...
We have a seven month old granddaughter living with us and we can’t imagine ever forgetting her in the car.
dear lord, both parents were oblivious to that poor little girl.well prayers are being said for the grandparents and other relatives that are dealing with this.

A moment of insanity. I am OK now... Thanks for talking me down.
RIP.
We are once again two income earners with young ones, and having been unemployed for one year I can say your statement is not true. If we could live better under one income we would have stayed that way.

It is all about budgeting and making do without...
“making do without...”
Ah yes, making do without. Without health insurance, dental care, without new clothes, new shoes, and the list goes on.
And that was with two incomes. On one income we could have sponged off the government.
No thanks.
*shrug*
Better to do without parents than stuff. Everyone draws their own line...
YYMV...
I’ve read so many of these stories, and they often involve mixed signals between the two parents, either because one assumed the other had the child, or because a change in one parent’s schedule caused the other parent to be responsible for the child out of their routine.
It seems sadly ironic that more “shared parenting” has lead to many of these tragedies...seems to me that if one parent (traditionally the mom) is the primary caretaker, she damn well knows where that child is. Always.
